All I asked was that she order her dress. I'd think that's an important part of being a BM, no? So let's just be hypothetical. Let's say she never orders her dress (with her this is a VERY possible scenario), I should still have her in the wedding & let her wear anything she finds?? Sorry, not happening.... I will NOT be compromising on ordering & wearing a bridesmaid dress.

It is not only important, it's one of the very few actual "duties" a bridesmaid has. Forgive the obvious question, but you did ask her what her budget was, and choose a dress within that budget, yes? I will assume that you did.
In that case, find out the actual last date to order the dress and have it guaranteed arrive on time. The bridal shop will almost certainly try to bump back this date for the sake of the commission, so you'll have to be firm about what you need.
Give your sister the date. Let her know that if she doesn't order by this date, you can't promise the dress will arrive in time, in which case, she will of course be welcome to attend as a guest. Then let the topic go. If she doesn't order the dress, she will have taken herself out of the wedding party.
It sounds like essentially the same thing, but there is a big difference between kicking her out and her dropping out on her own.
